Sometimes I wish there were JANG counterparts for other hobbies and pop culture groups; his reviewing style is so wonderfully crafted.

[@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus]

Same here, reviews of Hasbro and Mattel products are a cringe-fest

[@bluebomber875]

I mean, he reviews playmobile and knives for some reason on his other channels lol

[@haynoahh]

@@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus the Fwoosh is good

[@aeon90q1]

Jangs quality is so high, I bet the other youtubers see this as a entry barrier they will not achieve and therefore focus more on their own style. Perhaps the audience is not there for the other toy manufacturers, Lego is havily carried by adult fans, who will watch first then buy. Kids see a flashy box in the store and buy, they do not care about the value and the usability. Other hobbies in general are well represented just beyond the entry level, just go down the rabbit hole...;)

[@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr]

Even if I weren’t an AFOL I’d probably still enjoy Jang’s reviews. His chill, conversational mannerisms combined with his obvious passion and expertise for all aspects of Lego are qualities that make me want to listen to a person, no matter what they’re talking about.

[@zozer4725]

I remember watching reviews of the original set. How nostalgic

[@kaismith5995]

me too

[@dilldill6117]

It’s such a good set

[@achillestrojan11]

I feel y'all

[@achillestrojan11]

Heck, I had already bought 11 of these X-l charger's in the last 6 days 🤣🤣 R.I.P my wallet

[@badaboom8520]

IT CAME OUT 6 YEARS AGO?! WHAT?!

[@twinceptionproductions6083]

I’ve been looking forward to your coverage of the new Ninjago sets! Would you consider doing a side-by-side comparison of the Legacy models versus the original sets, similar to your videos comparing new/old Star Wars sets (assuming you have the originals on-hand that is)? I think it would be very interesting to see the evolution of Ninjago sets over time, given that it’s one of Lego’s best-selling themes.

[@Tiishen]

Yeah that would be pretty cool but I don't think Jang has the originals, he's probably given them away to a charity or something by now, since that's what he does with the Lego he doesn't want to keep long-term iirc

[@alexcowie3913]

Cole looks great he’s one of the better looking ninjago golden suits

[@ninjagonmore]

I think the issue with this set’s price isn’t the fault of the Lego group, but more the fault of the buyer. If someone was going to display the set, they could easily take out the bike inside the car and it would still look the same on a shelf. Since the whole point of this set is that play feature, the set wouldnt be worth as much to someone displaying the set. Where are someone playing with the set is obviously going to want to use the bike feature, so they would be willing to pay more just for that feature. Hopefully you understand what I’m saying as I kind of got lost in my words lol

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I agree, I only really want this set for the golden Cole in actuality the figure will be worth the £45 on bricklink once the set retires so from my perspective I think it's worth it for the golden Cole alone, in my opinion it's the weakest if the 10th anniversary sets. I'm buying this last or as soon as it's slightly discounted or put on sale I don't want to wait until it's soon retired can't chance it.

[@beskarbricks2686]

I remember this, I had this set when I was young. They removed my favorite part, which was a basket ball net being used as part of the engine on the back. I love how the windscreen has been extended with bricks. As always, great job!

[@obi-wankenobi4362]

This is my personal favorite of the new sets! I think it looks really good and I love the play feature. Great video, as always!

[@Kai_fire_master]

hello there

[@anakinskywalker6598]

You're a bold one

[@potatopotatoproductions9087]

I agree general kenobi..

[@cjy_leo]

I love this set but I hate the back they could’ve added more stuff to the back

[@joshuamoore3049]

I agree. If they put a bit more structure on the back, I would consider getting it.

[@tywallace2379]

The motorcycle is for cruising Jang City, while the main car is too big for such a journey.

[@redknight4]

Jang if you remember M.A.S.K. the set is like a car from that 80's toy series

[@shonenbag6478]

Not my favourite design but I can appreciate that they went for something new, at least. I know a lotta people don’t like it but it has a “new kid on the block” charm.

[@The_Og_Bluego_Raptor]

hi jang im a big fan ive been watching your videos for a long time

[@lbricks7631]

Jang is on a roll with reviews, 10 in a week!

[@Imaginethat-official]

Im so glad that they made this set again but I do like the old version way better

[@Kai_fire_master]

I think this is a big improvement over the original

[@waterblazek2288]

Agreed, maybe besides spring-loaded shooters, wish there was more articulation

[@sebces2576]

this is such a downgrade, the original looks so much better not to mention the complete lack of detail on the back of the new one. absolute trash set.

[@mintakamothkind]

For the record: I'm pretty certain they chose the armor for the 10th anniversary minifigs based on the respective seasons they were mascots / lead roles of most recently. Cole was the mascot of Master of the Mountain (Season 13), Jay was the mascot for Prime Empire (Season 12), and so on.

[@k-874]

This is suspiciously very similar to the Ninja Tuner Car so the designer definitely drew some inspiration from it like the very exposed rear wheels, most of the bulk being on the front and blades that is angled that follows the side shape of the car

[@kleiner-yoda4133]

Agreed, also the Sons of Garmaddon Ninja Nightcrawler (wheels and their distances).

[@BastionUnity]

I want someone to try and combine aspects from this new one with the original. I really like the back engine of the original, and wish they kept that on the Legacy set. When I saw the back of it, I actually winced at how barren it was.

[@the-guythatstealsyourmicrowave]

I love the style of the car

[@Yell0wCheese]

No way did Jang just do a 40k refrence in the title?

[@GreatestEverGuy]

you and i seem to be the only ones who caught that........

[@muisverriet]

No, "red = faster" is a trope that's older than 40k.

[@Brickfilmer125]

Thank you for reviewing the 10th Anniversary sets! Been waiting for these!

[@QuietWyatt2005]

Decent set overall, but at least it’s not as bad as the Legacy Kai Fighter!

[@noahclarke9307]

But I still rather get the original than the legacy. Maybe I’ll get the legacy and try to recreate the original with spare parts.

[@landlighterfirestar5550]

I think it’s a completely different build. I also prefer the old one, but the mechanism on the new one is fantastically designed

[@waterninjaproductions4885]

The motorcycle in the car looks awesome.

[@rolandb2108]

This was my favorite classic set, def getting this

[@alexcowie3913]

That’s a new back clip on piece

[@kimballbelliston5925]

I like what they did with the windshield

[@Sceptile-nj5li]

This is the only review I've seen where the bike didn't get stuck.

[@r8gaming961]

Yep

[@Lordodragonss]

Hahah same!

[@Chokun-Gaming]

Each 10 years golden ninja is based on a different season and Cole is the only one with the "hero" armor

[@jerardocontreras1572]

Wow 10 years of Ninjago....crazy

[@vaimantobe3034]

Original had better features and felt more like a secret agent esque car. The turret actually rotated, it had fold out flick missles on both sides. The bike was a smaller part of the entire car, which made the thing feel more proper. And the pin that held the bike to the car was on the fairing, making it look like an exhaust. Not to mention the unique looking basketball hoop net around the back thruster.

[@gosmbricks9833]

I wish that this set had steering in the back. The bad thing about system cars is that they do not have any steering or suspension whatsoever.

[@ashpikachu]

i love the legacy line

[@carsongooch4297]

I like this set overall. My only big gripe is why the Ninja are in their Tournament of Elements suits and not their Season 3 suits

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Doesn't even fell that long ago since the original was on shelves. Reminds me of the oversized car from the SOG wave. A lot of build for one minifigure. Though I really like this update a two seater build for anything this large should be a must, but I guess with the bike launch gimmick it wouldn't be possible.

[@G.R._EGG]

I just went back and watched your review of the original, I can definitely say the original was better. It was just more interesting to look at especially the back booster, this set it’s just one small piece but on the first one it is one of those really big basketball net pieces and some big fire boost pieces.

[@princesabrus2253]

Miss this set so glad they brought it back

[@daddycumsack]

I feel old now can’t believe it’s been 10 years now I grew up to this

[@orangelightning1949]

Golden Cole is literally the only reason I’m getting this

[@Robotfan987]

The Golden Ninja headgear piece makes sense when you compare it to the others. Their different headgear styles represent the mascot characters for the last few seasons. Cole was the Season 13 Mascot character.

[@joemann7353]

The only think I wish is that the bike had handlebars. Might add some to mine when this set finally arrives in the 🇬🇧

[@BdSS432]

Hi Jang! Love your reviews. I'm especially looking forward to the reviews for the new LEGO CITY sets. My niece is 5 years old and has been playing with LEGOs since she was 3. My family and I were looking into investing in one of the LEGO themes for her and although price to part ratio may not be the best in LEGO CITY, it looks very appealing. That being said, it is always good to see someone else buy the kits and give their honest opinion about them. Keep up the good work!

[@liamwalsh2075]

I need this set!

[@nightfury1955]

I think the old one looks better, but I never got my hands on one so I will definitely try and grab this one

[@20spray1]

I dont watch ninjago but I think this car looks sweet. Kinda want it

[@Prim-Hull_Primehu6]

Thus would be cool in black and with a batman theme

[@silverlady1118]

I think it's a great set, value seems fair, I like the 10th anniversary figures too Great review ☺

[@adamf2402]

Classic background music ayyyy

[@samster101229]

Like to see a ranking of these new sets cause I may be out of Ninjago, but feel I should cop the ones with the anniversary minifigures

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Nice pintorest car, I love the patterns. It's getting hard to get ANY Lego set including General Grievous Starfigther.

[@webricklego6875]

petition to have this set to be scale like Lego Technic car set!

[@thepowermonkey9441]

I remember seeing the original set in an add

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

Reminds me of the Akira bike. It's cool!. The price/volume makes this a tough sell on a shelf, but everything else on paper is pretty good. There's better $50 sets but there's also worse.

[@Clone6643]

I am going to try to get it, just so I can put both versions on display.

[@Zenlore6499]

“Chassis” “Shassis” “Chah-sis” “Shaw-sus”

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Schyaw-zhyuh.

[@parthmhaske696]

Bro i am so gad i found jang like a couple of years ago because then i would buy overpriced useless lego sets so thanks Jang, and thank you for doing lego ninjago sets

[@ams25dec]

Hey there’s something up with my x1, if anyone can help it’ll be appreciated. When I use the mechanism to launch the bike from the x1 it barely makes any distance if not any. I’ve dismantled it many times and rebuilt it to still have the same outcome. If anybody can help that’ll be highly appreciated

[@dylangaba87]

Definitely looking forward to your reviews of the new ninjago wave!!! I was wildly disappointed with this set and am super sad that the golden cole comes in this set

[@lordpreclik7451]

I have that original set + polybags version

[@mintakamothkind]

To me, this vehicle always felt redundant, because Kai had already gotten his own vehicle that year. So now that they've made legacy sets of both his jet and this car, it's like a double redundancy. And honestly, regardless of improved build, I still find it hard to be a fan of a bright-red oversized car that seats one minifig. I'm looking forward to your review of the legacy Zane's Titan Mech, which is a set I had to get my hands on immediately when it was released

[@trimdesign1]

Agreed, though personally i liked the fact that the Kai fighter was a bit cheaper therefore me and my pocket-change allowance could get a ninja vehicle.

[@mintakamothkind]

@@trimdesign1 Oh yeah, definitely, the kai fighter itself was warranted imo, but the ninja charger came out later on both accounts, and that's what makes it feel especially redundant.

[@thehaslob6212]

Oh my, this set is just a couple months old, I cannot believe its 83 dollars in amazon.

[@nilsnyman6767]

I'm not a Ninjago fan at all but I DO like that car.

[@TMOG217]

i cant wait to get this set

[@Thunder_Bricks1]

I have all the 2021 legacy wave 1 sets the set that I’m trying to get now is the fire dragon

[@haxpert7296]

I. LOVE. IT

[@Url_Seth]

Yeah finally I was waiting for these reviews

[@strangehermitman7898]

There surely is a balance between modern day lego durability and the size of older sets but this doesn’t have it.

[@badaboom8520]

The original set is way better than the new one, I am missing that back of the original with the basketball hoop at the back

[@Citrus-woman]

I need this set. I wanted the original but never got it, and if I don’t get this one then I probably won’t get another chance to get this vehicle, so I have to get this one. I hope I’m able to get it...

[@theallay205]

my wifi is soooooooo slow but i'm enjoying the video

[@jameswest4817]

Mindroid is dope

[@legobrickspower8498]

i kinda want to get it but a 16 stud vehicle is insane (8 studs are the wheels)

[@tam2237]

IT SURE IS!

[@evertvigoureux5234]

please do the titan mech battle set next

[@Galker25]

I’m still doubting if I should get this one first than ToE, because I already have the BB and Titan Mech, but I want a set to build on the 10th anniversary that comes with a golden figure :/

[@caresz6918]

I'm curios about your opinion of the new knee joints and overall articulation of Zane's new titan mech.

[@Alman.Alvi06]

REVIEW ZANES TITAN MECH NEXT PlZZZZZ!!!!!

[@datboidapug]

Somehow, palpatine has retuned.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I only really want this set for the golden Cole in actuality the figure will be worth the £45 on bricklink once the set retires so from my perspective I think it's worth it for the golden Cole alone, in my opinion it's the weakest if the 10th anniversary sets. I'm buying this last or as soon as it's slightly discounted or put on sale I don't want to wait until it's soon retired can't chance it. Looking forward to more reviews on the rest of the sets.

[@awesomesauce3096]

I’ve been waiting for this review for so long!!!!! Btw this set is giving me serious nostalgia (as it should)

[@dynamosaurusimperious6341]

This is pretty sicko mode of a lego ninajo set

[@elijahjahjahjahjahjahjah9688]

Thought I got an old recommendation when I saw this one

[@noahclarke9307]

I prefer the original as well. I just looks better and the was simple. Even though yo never firm my hands on one 😬😂😂

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

Gotta love the ninjago price point. Can’t wait for the gardens. This reminds me of a “battle of the planets” vehicle. Anyone else remember that cartoon?

[@pance_9912]

I'm so anxious to see official picture for Gardens. The leaked image has me intrigued, but I want a better look at the thing badly!

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

Red = faster... might that be a 40K Orks reference?

[@mattheweagan6230]

Weirdly enough none of the reviews I've seen have commented on just how flat the front of the car is. With the center and rear having such complex geometry, having the very front just end with no shaping is just odd.

[@Joseph-yl1kd]

Amazing video but is there any one who can tell my why when I try to deploy the bike it wont come out all the way I've already spent half an hour dismantling it comparing to the instructions and it still wont work.

[@IdleLynx]

I have a question, which one would you rather get, this set? or the lego bonsai tree

[@stuchly1]

It looks far nicer than the original.

[@SAITO2]

@JANGBRiCKS are you planning to review the other sets from 2020's second half of the monkie kid line? or the 2021 sets of said line? i'm quite enjoying the builds myself

[@NinjagoSeason]

10 years

[@nightfury1955]

When is the video of the S13 sets gameplay/combined coming?

[@alexcowie3913]

How much do you think u would value thisset at

[@krishgupta5014]

Why does Lego never get old?

[@BigCookie6903]

I got this on sale for 40 dollars, so that feels like a good price to me

[@leftygurl]

i feel like the play value for money is lacking, but it’s a good build overall, though it could stand to shed a few bucks.

[@CaddysCardvault1965]

Waiting on the new x-wing review !

[@user-ic4js8ij6c]

I don't know what about you but i am picking this just for the golden cole

[@StaticAlX]

Same

[@Ovenchips]

They messed up the ninjas, they used the season 4 look instead of the season 3 one

[@renaissanceravensly5567]

@DeadlyDemon I think these suits are supposed to be a combination of the Season 3 and 4, though they definitely seem to be more inspired by Season 4 than Season 3, though I wouldn't necessarily say they messed up since this line seems to like to combine aspects of suits from two different seasons, even if they seem more inspired by one season over the other. However, that being said, it is still okay if you think the ninja in this set are inaccurate since their suits seem to look more like their Tournament of Elements Suits rather than their Rebooted ones.

[@kaismith5995]

I love the set love the detail and just love the minifigures just love it
